Folk-pop experimentalist Dora Jar has returned with the moving new single, "The Explorer".
In a surreal drift through Los Angeles, the accompanying video directed by Clare Gillen finds Dora following a paper map through dreamlike streets — with a tongue-in-cheek nod to Dora the Explorer — ultimately arriving at the edge of the ocean gazing into the infinite.
"The Explorer" is the first new music from Dora Jar since the release of her single "Lucky"—an extension of the world she built with her debut album, No Way To Relax When You Are On Fire.
"The Explorer" is out now.
